REPORT: MALPRACTICE: Continental AIRLINE SLAPS AN UNDUE FEE

This friend of mine, AT, bought 2 international air-tickets for Continental Airlines. Soon after, due to some unavoidable circumstance, he had to abandon the plans for that international trip. Knowing that its an international flight, where tickets can be thus changed, he called the airlines for the same. Continental told him that he can get credit but not a refund. Fair enough. A week later, he booked himself 3 tickets for Florida, using the credit he had collected. He made these reservations on the phone (which is what one would use, if one has to use the credits). All well......till he gets his credit card bill, which shows that he has been charged $750 extra.....why? Continental tells him that when they make such reservations on the phone, they charge $250 per ticket! No one told AT anything about this, when he was making the FL reservations. He repeatedly called the airlines to rectify this charge-----but to no avail.

CONTINENTAL.......BAD-BAD.

Lesson: ALWAYS before signing off on any telephonic deal, ask the agent to repeat the charges you will incur, and do also take the agent id, name etc for your records.

The peanut vendor tightened the tarp on his
wheelbarrow, ensuring to cover every bit of everything that was on it-the drum
of peanuts, the stack of newspaper bags, the bag of coal, and the small
aluminum pan he burnt the coal on. With the warmth of his coal fire gone, Niru
double-wrapped herself in her shawl. "Bhaiya, do you know what time the last bus
comes?" She asked the smallish vendor who was now almost ready to wheel
his wares to wherever his home was. "Should be coming any minute now." He
raised his hand. Niru thought he waved to her, but he was only getting ready to
give a giant push to the cart. Off he started. With him gone, with the street lamp only giving a
dim, lethargic flicker, and with the shops behind them all closed now, the
bus-stop became desolate in the uninterrupted darkness of the cold December
night. "Sham, let's take an auto till Dwarka."
Niru said, feeling a bit nervous now. She only had enough money to get her
